return migration (migración de retorno)

Contexto del término For instance, Bilgili points out that return migration is not just about physical return moves but also about myths, ideologies and imaginaries of return. Cassarino (2004, p.262) suggests that migrants use return visits to prepare for their more definitive return and reintegration at home, although this is only one type of link between transnational behaviour and return migration. One might then assume that, once return and reintegration take place, transnationalism ceases but, as King and Christou (2011, 2014) have shown, returnees often engage in ‘reverse transnationalism’ by retaining strong links back to their former host countries.
